ENDOSCOPIC TYMPANOPLASTY- A STUDY OF 50 CASES
Kishan Kumawat

T
his study is aimed to evaluate the role of endoscope in the management of dry central perforation of tym-
panic membrane. Total 50 patients underwent endoscopic tympanoplasty, during January 2017 to Decem-
ber 2018 at APOLLO ENT Hospital Barmer, Rajasthan. In this study, there was 96% graft take up rate with endo-
scopic approach. The endoscopic approach have following advantages over microscopic approach: Operation
time; post-operative pain level; better cosmetic results; better surgical view with minimal incision; high success
rate of graft take up; better post -operative hearing improvement and avoids end aural vertical and post auric-
ular incisions. Thus endoscopic tympanoplasty can be a good alternative of microscopic tympanoplasty. The
average time taken for each endoscope assisted tympanoplasty was around 60-70 minutes.
